Abstract

L'invention concerne un composé extrudable, un procédé d'extrusion, et un produit extrudé contenant un polymère, une fibre cellulosique et au moins un lubrifiant contenu dans le groupe constitué d'esters d'hydantoïnes éthoxylés, des esters de sorbitol éthoxylé et du sorbitane, ou du N,N'-bisalcanoyléthylènediamines contenant entre 8 et 14 atomes de carbone dans chaque groupe alcanoyle. Les produits extrudés fabriqués selon l'invention simulent des produits en bois classique. L'invention concerne en outre l'utilisation de N,N'-bisalcanoyléthylènediamines de façon indépendante contre entre 8 et 14 atomes de carbone dans chaque groupe alcanoyle et une dimension particulaire comprise entre 90 et 150 νm, de préférence entre 120 et 140 νm, en tant que lubrifiants dans des compositions à base de fibres cellulosiques et de polymères.
